The only areas of the game which do not stick to this single-path design are the tree top villages. Some of these areas are reused, which further adds to the monotonous nature of the game. Drake is often flanked by high canyon walls on either side, forcing him to stick to the path. Many of them are also quite claustrophobic. They all have a beginning point and an end point with nothing but a single path (that rarely branches) connecting them. Sadly, almost all of the levels share one common feature. There are tree top villages, crystal filled caverns, and an evil factory, just to name a few.

He then receives some new information and continues on with his next mission.ĭrake’s adventures take him through various parts of the island of Dinotopia. After receiving his next task, Drake makes his way through a level and collects a few items or beats a boss, thus completing the task at hand. In between missions, he will talk to various people, including the wise sages, who will guide him on his way as well as give him new weapon enhancements. Drake is given various missions to complete in order to save Dinotopia. The game follows a pretty simple pattern.

The player takes control of Drake, who sets off to make his father proud and become the Guardian of Dinotopia. Jacob, believing that the dinosaurs killed their father, leaves to join a group called The Outsiders that believe humans and dinosaurs were not meant to live together and that the dinosaurs should be eradicated. The story begins with their father disappearing while preparing for the twins’ 24th birthday. The Sunstone Odyssey is the second Dinotopia game and follows the adventures of the Gemini Twins, Drake and Jacob, who were shipwrecked on the titular island a decade ago. Dinotopia began as a book and has since spawned a television series as well as a Game Boy Advance game (The Timestone Pirates). Dinotopia: The Sunstone Odyssey is based on the world created by James Gurney in 1992.
